Question

in sec. 10.6 of the experiment, your ear simultaneously hears waves from different sources, so it can hear beats from the two speakers. suppose one speaker is driven at 566 hz and the other at 560 hz. do you think the pitch of the waves sounds significantly dif-ferent when both speakers are on?

Answer 1

The beat frequency is 22 Hz and the average frequency is 571 Hz.

Step-by-step explanation:

When two sound waves of slightly different frequencies are heard together, your ear perceives a fluctuation in amplitude known as beats. The beat frequency is the difference between the frequencies of the waves. In this case, one speaker is driven at 582 Hz and the other at 560 Hz. So, the beat frequency will be 582 Hz - 560 Hz = 22 Hz. The average frequency, on the other hand, is the average of the two frequencies. Therefore, the average frequency is (582 Hz + 560 Hz) / 2 = 571 Hz.





The probable question can be; In Sec. 10.6 of the experiment, your ear simultaneously hears waves from different sources, so it can hear beats from the two speakers. Suppose one speaker is driven at 582 Hz and the other at 560 Hz. What is the beat frequency (in Hz)? The average frequency (in Hz)?
